My cat was attacked by a neighbor's dog...

[moriah]

33. Spot-on.

And I also don't want to cause him trouble with his neighbors. He has been here awhile, says he's very happy here, and is 60 years old.

The dog needs someone to be responsible for it, not euthanasia. And if I had the ability to move, that's what I'd be saying to everyone involved -- look, I'm not going to make a fuss and cause legal problems, because animal control laws are far crueler to the animal than they are to the people who are supposed to be responsible for it. Either take responsibility for the dog, put a collar on him, and make sure he gets vet care -- it's been six months -- or let me see if I can find someone who can take care of him and give him a real home.

But I'm not in a position to even argue that point and get them to take better care of that dog. Especially if the person who is currently feeding them is willing to let the dogs he claims as his, and would be upset at losing or getting impounded, run and chase after cars. Even on a dirt road they could get hurt, and one of his chased me all the way to the blacktop and nearly got hit by another car. That man is going to regret not fencing his animals in on the day that turns wrong. But I'll pray that day never comes.
